PICTURE POST II!

[the 4th hanson bro]

Saw this at lunch yesterday at the country club I was at. A momma bear sleeping in a pine tree. What you can't see is the cub under her and the other one about 6 feet away.

Me and the kiddos.

^Such a lovely photo.

I couldn't help myself, when I saw a pattern on Pneterest to knit I just had to! Now to find insignia for it!

(the orig pattern has you knit in the dleta but I couldn't get the shape right).

LOVE this! Does the pattern come in different sizes? And who's the lucky redshirt?

And my all-time favorite picture of him:

This photo makes me smile every time you post it. Such a lovely, handsome young man.

Type 2 runs in my family--my mom, dad, three of four older sisters, and most recently, my older brother.

On the positive side at least there is more that can be done (in most cases, though not all) to prevent or at least delay the onset of type 2. Type 1 is a whole other ballgame!

My boyfriend's type I. He's not very good about it from what I've seen. I don't know how much I should nag, though; it's not like he doesn't know what he's supposed to do.

Sorbus aucuparia!
(Rønnebær)

You can pick them before the frost and infuse the fresh berries in water over night and then change the water before cooking them into a jam or jelly. This will remove much of the bitter taste (but also some of the vitamins).
These berries are also good as a chutney (goes well with venison) in which case you throw away the water after boiling them.
In Bavarian they are called Vogelbeeren = bird berries

(Emphasis mine)

Around here the jelly is also used with venison (and game).

Oh, and: Frost also reduces the vitamin-content.

Thanks!

the pattern is a pretty basic saddle shoulder v neck. I'm lazy and didi it in the round as a raglan sleeve. Love those, you just get to stop increases when it fits. I'm not sure who a raglan knit in the round couldn't work for!

Aww! What a great photo!

What a beautiful kitty!

That a black bear or a grizzly, hard to see with the obstructed view. I always go by the ears and the hump or lack thereof on the neck.

I've had a few chances to see bears in the wild, all but once from a comfortable distance. Awesome to see in person.

 

[Amasov]

What a beautiful kitty!

And he's a Maine Coon; a real handful.

Wow. I've always wanted a Maine Coon; they're so beautiful. My family always referred to cats that size as "cogs:" cats big enough to be dogs.

 

[Amasov]

And very VERY chatty. But they are so laid-back and chill. They're the best.

 

[Mary Ann]

Like auntiehill, I've also always wanted a Maine Coon. They're so big, beautiful, and have wonderful personalities.
